International expansion rarely starts with a press release.

It shows up first in job ads, leadership hires, office moves, and quiet operational changes. New markets mean new teams, new suppliers, new compliance needs, and new decisions being made quickly, often before strategies are fully locked in.

This month, 934 companies signalled active international expansion. Here are a few that stood out.

Beazley

‍Beazley has announced the opening of a new Paris office scheduled for 2026, reinforcing its European expansion. The sustainably designed workspace reflects long-term investment in the French market and signals deeper engagement with brokers and partners across the region.

Kore.ai

‍Kore.ai has secured a strategic growth investment led by AllianceBernstein, following a landmark year that included partnerships with Microsoft and Amazon Web Services. The funding will support accelerated innovation and global expansion as the company scales enterprise AI and intelligent agent solutions across multiple international markets.

Corinthia Hotels

‍Corinthia Hotels has appointed Mohammed Wazir as General Manager of its first GCC property in Qatar, set to open in early 2027. The senior leadership hire signals a major step in the brand’s expansion into the Middle East and the continued global rollout of its luxury hospitality portfolio.

Butternut Box
The company is preparing for further European expansion, with plans to open a larger second factory in Poland in early 2026. Recent roles reference building the economics for new international sites and shaping fulfilment strategy across borders, a clear sign of long-term operational investment beyond the UK.

Softcat
Softcat continues to scale internationally, with job postings highlighting global logistics, customs management, compliance, and export coordination from the UK. These are the behind-the-scenes signals that typically appear as companies move from opportunistic overseas sales to structured international growth.

FitFlop
CEO Gianni Georgiades recently outlined plans to accelerate global expansion while strengthening the brand’s position at the intersection of fashion and wellbeing. The focus is on entering new international markets and building relevance with new customer segments, a classic growth phase for established consumer brands.

Pepperl+Fuchs
The business has opened a new North American headquarters in Twinsburg, Ohio, housing around 120 employees. Designed for collaboration and aiming for LEED Gold certification, the move underlines a long-term commitment to the US market and regional scale.

Braze
Braze has moved its Bucharest team into a larger office in Oregon Park, Romania, and is actively hiring across customer success, engineering, and security roles. Office expansions like this often precede accelerated regional growth and increased local decision-making.

Muc-Off
The appointment of Sven Mack as Chief Strategy Officer strengthens the company’s international ambitions. With deep experience across the DACH region, Sven will focus on global market development and the evolution of Muc-Off’s ecommerce platforms, reinforcing its push beyond core markets.

Wrisk
Wrisk is expanding across the UK, Austria, Germany, Ireland, and India. Recent roles reference cross-country HR compliance and integration, a strong indicator that international growth is moving from experimentation to scale.

Ramboll
Ramboll has opened a new office in Kuala Lumpur at KL Eco City as part of its continued expansion in Malaysia. The focus is on strengthening local capabilities and building long-term partnerships in the region, signalling deeper investment rather than a satellite presence.

THG Ingenuity

‍THG Ingenuity is driving international growth through investments in global courier performance, carrier management technology, and operational excellence. Recent roles point to a continued focus on enabling scalable global ecommerce and fulfilment across multiple international delivery networks.
